Main Menu
There are 6 different Main Menu items for the Copywriter Flash Duplicator: Copy, Compare, Copy & Compare, Information, Utility, and Setup. For the Setup options, please refer to page 9.
These instructions refer to using 11 USB recorder ports (available only in the USB 11 Flash Duplicator), but the instructions will not differ when using any of the Copywriter Flash Duplicators. Any Copywriter Flash Duplicator model will operate using any number of the available recorder ports.
Copy
The Copy function is used to copy our master card to the blank cards. The steps taken will be different if you are in Asynchronous or Synchronous duplication.
Asynchronous Duplication
The Copywriter Flash Duplicator will automatically copy Asynchronously if the source content is less than the duplicator’s memory buffer size, which is displayed during

smaller than the duplicator’s buffer size, the source card | Reading: 124M |

will first be read from the Reader port into the internal |

memory. The internal memory contents will then be |

compared to the source contents. Once the compare is complete, duplication will begin from the internal memory to the target cards.
Once the source has been read into the internal memory and successfully compared, the source card can be removed from the Reader port. You can then use the Reader port as a Recorder port until a new master card needs to be duplicated.
While in Asynchronous mode, each blank flash card will be written to the moment the duplicator recognizes the card. As each card finishes, the LED above that card will stop flashing and can be removed and replaced. Once the new card is recognized, duplication to that card will automatically begin.
The display will show you how many cards have been successfully duplicated, how many have failed, and how many are currently being duplicated.

Asyn Hold Time Setting
Since the Reader port will be usable as a recorder port once the source has been read and confirmed in the duplicator’s internal memory, there is the risk that a new source card will be placed in the Reader port while an Asynchronous duplication is in progress, which the duplicator will then overwrite with the stored data.
The Asyn Hold Time setting will help prevent this from occurring (see page 10). This setting allows you to specify the amount of time the duplicator will wait with no detected target cards before exiting an Asynchronous duplication job.
Please note that all ports must be empty, not simply finished duplicating before this setting is effective. Leaving the source card in the Reader port will also keep the duplicator in Asynchronous duplication mode.
When there are no target cards detected, you will be asked if you want to exit the Copy mode for the current saved source data. Press the OK button to return to the Main Menu, or ESC to continue with the same saved source data .
